Yokohama is pleased to announce the detailed list of artists who will be participating.

This year the City of Yokohama has been designated as one of the “Culture City of East Asia 2014”
in a program intended to present the rich traditional and contemporary art and culture of China, Korea, and Japan to a global audience, and is participating in a wide range of cultural programs alongwith the cities of Quanzhou in China and Gwangju in Korea. Yokohama Triennale 2014 has been

Greeting
The members of the Organizing Committee for Yokohama Triennale, together with our artistic
director Morimura Yasumasa, have spent the last several months preparing for the upcoming
fifth edition to open this August. As a result, we herewith present the detailed list of artists andtheir artworks that will be exhibited under the title, Yokohama Triennale 2014 “ART Fahrenheit
2014: Sailing into the sea of oblivion.”
Our last edition held in 2011 marked a major shift in direction, as the City of Yokohama took
over the leadership in organizing this event, and the Yokohama Museum of Art was designated as one of the main venues for the first time. For the fifth edition, the museum will once
again become one of the main venues, together with Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall. Furthermore,
to promote the Creative City Yokohama policy, Yokohama Triennale will collaborate with thelocal non-profit organizations, BankART1929 and Koganecho Area Management Center who
operate the leading Creative City Core Area Bases, along with organizations that run otherbases including ZOU-NO-HANA TERRACE, Steep Slope Studio, and Yokohama Creativecity
Center (YCC), so that the visitors to Yokohama can engage in the diverse range of artistic
expressions that are widespread in the city.
This Triennale will be somewhat different from those of past years, with a large number ofworks which focus on the things that are essential but have been forgotten and compel us toquietly gaze and contemplate on their existence.
As an ever-increasing number of triennials and biennials are held in Japan and throughout theworld, we aim once again to highlight the distinctive depth and unique appeal of the Yokohama
Triennale. We hope that this edition will serve to spark our imaginations, stimulate our powersof thought and interpretation, and quietly but effectively raise vital human issues such as toleranceof diversity and acceptance of value systems other than our own.

Embarking on a Voyage into the Sea of Oblivion
Haven’t we left behind something that is fundamentally important? Have we moved on without realizing it, or simply, left it behind, while knowing it all along?
There are artists and artistic expressions that respond acutely to this realm of oblivion.
Yokohama Triennale 2014 will be a “voyage into the sea of oblivion.” It will make us recall things thathave been inadvertently lost from our lives, things that have been perpetually forgotten by humanbeings, and particular things that have been lost in the contemporary age.
Let us wander, feel perplexed, become inspired, broaden our imaginations, and stop and contemplate. Comprised of two introductions and a total of 11 chapters, Yokohama Triennale 2014 will provide us with an opportunity to compile a journal of a drifting mind.
Let us now sail into the Sea of Oblivion.

LOVE, 2012
Photo: Lyndon DOUGLAS

Born in the Western Flanders region of Belgium, where
Catholic faith runs deep, Delvoye produces highly decorative sculptures employing a wide range of symbols.
While modeled on styles from art history such as Baroque and Gothic, they deal with motifs symbolizing
consumer society such as brand logos and excrement,
and provoke the viewer with a melding of beauty andugliness, sex and life, and the traditional and contemporary.

Gimhongsok scrutinizes contemporary society and its
inhabitants with effervescent wit and a sharp critical eye.
His outdoor sculpture appearing to welcome visitors tothis Triennale is a warped appropriation of RobertIndiana’s iconic sculpture Love, turning Gimhongsok’s
distinctive ironic gaze on the supposed role of public art
as monuments loved by all.

his enormous (some 600 cubic meters) Art Bin, acontainer for the artists to dispose of their own unwanted art, will appear in the entrance hall, standing
as a monument to the creative failure that lurks inthe shadow of all artistic endeavor.

Suprematist Drawing (Fragments), ca. 1914-15
Collection of The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo

Malevich, a key member of the Russian avant-garde thatemerged in the early years of the 20th century, began
producing art after moving to Moscow in 1905. In 1915,
he unveiled his Suprematist paintings, abstractions featuring black geometric shapes such as squares andcircles on white backgrounds, at “The Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0.10.” Malevich rejected the representation of real-world objects, and sought to create works
through pure artistic sensation.

Born in Canada, Martin moved to the United States andobtained citizenship, basing her artistic activities there.
Much of her work consists primarily of fine horizontal
lines and grids. Martin claimed to be an Abstract Expressionist painter, and this claim is supported by thedelicate hand-drawn lines of her paintings, which areboth serene and richly expressive.

Palermo is one of Germany’s most acclaimed abstract
painters, and was a prized pupil of Joseph Beuys. In
the mid-1960s, he began employing canvases withshapes other than the conventional rectangle, such as
circles, triangles, and crosses, as well as totem poles
and the interior walls of buildings. In his spatial arrangements of form and color, he interpreted primeval
aspects of humanity, from biology to despair, within aframework of coexistence with nature.

Smith works energetically in multiple media including
painting, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking, with atouch that is by turns aggressive, oblique, and playful.
His paintings in particular are notable for iterated actions that disregard boundaries between abstraction
and representation. Here we present new works fromhis series of monochromatic paintings first shown lastyear. The repeated action of applying single colors topanels of uniform size exemplifies his inquiry into painting, which emphasizes the process of making art andlooking at it.

Blank, 2013

Bermejo focuses on the systems that facilitate art(including materials, techniques, funding, and the artworld establishment) and executes projects that callits very structure into question. Here the artist presents Blank, which appears to be a canvas but is infact made entirely of white paint, probing the essenceof painting (a medium that cannot exist without asupport surface, typically a canvas) and the nature ofminimalism.

Since the late 1970s, Kimura has produced paintingsand prints incorporating photographs and various
words written in faithfully recreated fonts. Here we present his set of four paintings entitled Language, firstexhibited at a four-person exhibition along with Tsubaki
Noboru, Nakatani Akio, and Yamamoto Koji in 1983. Itfeatures four phrases encapsulating mental and emotional processes the artist undergoes while creating
work, or thoughts directed at the viewer and the external world.

b. 1898 in Lessines, Hainaut, (Belgium) /died in 1967 in Brussels (Belgium)

b. 1924 in Brussels (Belgium) /died in 1976 in Cologne (Germany)

Broodthaers started out writing poetry and making films,
and later focused increasingly on art. Between 1968
and 1972, he pursued a project known as Museum ofModern Art, Department of Eagles. As a part of thisproject, he produced the sound piece Interview with a
Cat (1970), in which he sought his pet cat’s opinion ona painting and the state of the art world.

Early on, Magritte was influenced by the Cubists andFuturists, but in 1923 he was deeply impressed by the
Metaphysical painting of Giorgio de Chirico, andaligned himself with the Surrealist movement. Magritte
at times pointed out the skewed relation between
words and imagery in painting, and gained renown forthe scintillating wit of his work. Photographs by
Magritte from between 1935 and 1943 from the Yokohama Museum of Art collection will be presented during the Triennale.

Celmins’ family left Latvia when she was one-year old
and lived in a refugee camp in Germany before emigrating to the United States in 1948. She became active in Los Angeles from 1962, and since 1981 has
been based in New York City. Celmins is known for her
tranquil images of the sea or constellations delicately
rendered in graphite or charcoal, but in the 1960s she
dealt with violent imagery such as fighter planes, guns,
and riots, of which the work shown here is an example.

Genzken studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts
and Düsseldorf Art Academy, and made her debut withthe floor-placed abstract sculpture Ellipsoids while still astudent. Since then she has remained a leading figure
in German contemporary art. Her sculpture made ofconcrete representing a radio, exhibited here, is one ofa series she began in 1982. It celebrates the beauty of
the industrial, and shows its unique presence as anarchitectural construction.

In 1988, Cuban-born, American artist Gonzalez-Torres
began a series of works that consisted of stacks of paper, some of which were printed with images, graphics
and text. While they visually bear aspects of minimalist
sculptures; paper stack works are infused with content,
sometimes political, sometimes personal and often abalance between both. They are interactive and viewers may take individual sheets with them.

Murakami studied Nihon-ga (Japanese-style painting)at the formeｒ Tokyo National University of Fine Arts
and Music (Tokyo University of the Arts), but his mature work employs a distinctive technique of superimposing and accumulating layers of paint. A deep spirituality underlies his works, which take years to complete and render visible the lengths of time consumed
by mental processes.

Wilson moved to the United States in 1960 at the age of
20. In May 1968 he held the first of The Discussions at
the studio of Lawrence Weiner in New York. In this series Wilson engaged in dialogues with another person
or people, which were not documented in any form. He
continues to this day with this project, which is art limited to the people present at a certain place and time.

Otani Yoshihisa, the owner of contemporary art gallery
Kanransha, saw the exhibition of George Grosz’s works
in Germany in 1995 and was motivated to research into
the creative activities of Japanese artists during WorldWar II. Part of a collection of publications he assembled
for the research is presented in the Triennale. Much
poetry of the era consisted of paeans to war and themilitary, and though it sold an enormous number ofcopies at the time, it was forgotten after Japan’s defeat.
NAKAYA Kokichi, The Last Note

“The Only Book in the World” is especially created as
an homage to Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451. It
is a collection of documents and artworks, that can be
freely viewed in the exhibition venue, featuring seventexts, including the poems of Anna Akhmatova whichwere handed down by word of mouth under the Stalin
regime; drawings of the vacant Hermitage Museum in
Russia, from which the art was evacuated to escapeNazi bombing; and the photographs of Shiga Lieko.

Letter to the artist’s little son Kan, September 4th, 1945

Narahara made his debut while still a graduate student at
Waseda University with Human Land, a collection of photographs of life on Hashima Island in Nagasaki Prefecture (nicknamed “Battleship Island”). He has earned a firm place in thehistory of Japanese photography, co-founding the influential
photo agency VIVO with Tomatsu Shomei and others. For the
Triennale, he will present Garden of Silence, depicting monks
in a Trappist monastery, and Within the Walls, showing theinterior of a women’s prison, from his “Domains” series.

Matsumoto was one of the most highly acclaimed Japanesemodern painters. He contributed to the establishment of a
new art association and was seen as one of the most promising figures in postwar painting, but passed away at an
early age. In this exhibition we present letters written to hiswife and son who had evacuated around the end of the war,
containing a universal message about how artists perceive
the world and approach the creation of work that is just as
valid today as it was then.

The Ugly One, 2013

Baudelaire’s THE ANABASIS OF MAY AND FUSAKOSHIGENOBU, MASAO ADACHI, AND 27 YEARSWITHOUT IMAGES (2011) has been acclaimed for its
intermingling of real-life documentation, quotations fromthe people depicted, and fiction. The Ugly One, shownin Asia for the first time, respects the original script (written by a Japanese film director Adachi Masao) while
presenting imagery far removed from its lyricism. The
video highlights the relationship between words andimages.

García studied art at the University of Salamanca andthe Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Through videos, installations, and performances, she explores the threeway relationship between viewer, work, and space. Text
also forms a key element in this relationship in works
such as her “copy” of Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit
451 with the mirror writings. In 2011, García represented Spain at the Venice Biennale.

Edward Kienholz moved to Los Angeles in 1952 after
taking a variety of jobs, including mental hospital attendant and used car salesman. He managed an art
gallery in LA, and began producing art himself. Bothsensational and sensitively observed, his constructions comment on controversial social issues and intentionally toy with taboos. From 1972 onward heproduced work in collaboration with Nancy Reddin.

Rakowitz has carried out numerous projects that focus on
marginalized members of society and the destruction of cultures by war. In What Dust Will Rise?, he used stone from
Bamiyan, Afghanistan, the place known for the colossal Buddha destroyed by the Taliban, and created copies of books
from a library in Kassel, Germany, which was bombed by the
British in 1941. Rakowitz aligns himself with the bearers ofmemories of loss, and seeks to regenerate lost heritage
through art.

Fukuoka is known for his “Pink Balloons” series dealing
with air (sigh), as a motif of sculpture, landscape sculpture, and flat works carved with thousands of words
such as “Nothing to Do” and “Do We Really Not Need to
Be Afraid?” For the Triennale, he will present his 1966
sculpture Why did I ever fly? as well as five twodimensional pieces.

Nakahira was originally an editor and critic, but has
been active as a photographer since 1965, and took
part in the establishment of the influential photography
magazine Provoke along with Takanashi Yutaka,Okada Takahiko, and Taki Koji. While suffering frommemory impairment due to a 1977 accident, he has
overcome this obstacle to produce works that drive
home the raw actuality of photography.

Boetti was a member of the avant-garde Arte Povera
movement, which originated in Italy in the 1960s. The
group eschewed traditional art supplies, instead working with unconventional materials such as scraps discarded by industrialized society. Boetti took an interestin national and regional political issues, as reflected in
his 1971-1979 “Mappa” series of maps of the world
made of national flags.

Zhang uses serene and delicate brushwork to depict
mundane objects that tend to get overlooked in thecourse of day-to-day life. While figurative, his paintings
are not realistic depiction of these objects, but are madewith a unique process entailing painting from memory.
In this exhibition we present three new works featuring
his recent motifs of string, old used bags, mattresses,
and boxes.

Triennale, she presents a work based on handmade
instruments left behind by a musician who had come to
Japan from the United States in the 1950s and died in2012, recreated as an automatic music generation device in which the sounds produced change over time.

Starling’s work sheds light on changes wrought byconnections between people lost in the shuffle of history and the encounters and collisions between cultures.
His new work will recreate masks and costumes fromphotographs of the 1916 premiere of Irish poet W.B.
Yeats’ At the Hawk’s Well, inspired by Japanese Nohplay, and highlights the complex interplay of imagination, translation, and occasional misunderstandingsthat arise when Eastern and Western culture collide.

their latent realities to the surface in a deliberate manner. His large-scale new installation which connects
several episodes of his own family, will be presented in
the Grand Gallery of the museum.

We do not see what we speak about, nor do we speak
about what we see. Turn Coat / Turn Court: constitution constellation is a repositioning of Hayashi Goh and Nakatsuka Hiroko’s “Court” series, presented at the Kyoto
Independents exhibition in 1983-1985, with the themes of“seeing and speaking” phase-shifted to encompass “thebody, territory, health, and safety.”

The princess of the desert in a deep sleep （To H）

Using primarily watercolor and ink, Sakagami fills the
picture plane with sequences of biomorphic forms resembling microorganisms. At times the details are so
minute as to be imperceptible to the naked eye, and thepictures seem to burst with latent narratives. In recent
years she has exhibited series entitled “Naturalis Historia” and “Scriptures from the Birds.” The mythologicalrealms she creates are replete with references to ancient life forms, birds, lore, and literature.

In the early 1930s, Cornell began making collages outof collected fragments, which later developed into theseries of assemblages in boxes with which his name issynonymous. He kept his distance from the art scene of
the time, and continued making his poetic creations intranquil seclusion throughout his life. Boxes as well as
short 16-mm films will be featured during the Triennale.

From Ms. Paper, 2013

Matsui creates performances, videos, and installations
in which the artist’s own body conveys autobiographicalcontent and a sense of the tactile. In her second contribution to the Yokohama Triennale, she presents Ms.
Paper, a series of works in various media that she has
been producing at the rate of one per day since 2011
and displaying on the Internet. This is a work in progress, which she will continue adding to over the courseof the exhibition.

Born into a Jewish family and interned in a concentration camp, Szapocznikow assisted her mother, a doctor,
and escaped death at the hands of the Nazis. After
studying sculpture in postwar Prague, she attended an
art school in Paris, but returned to Poland at the invitation of its government. Here her work gained a wider
audience, and from 1963 onward she was active in Paris once again. She focused on the motif of her own bodyover the years before passing away at an early age.

While Molinier repeatedly exhibited his work at Salondes Indépendents, it was censored due to its erotic
nature, and the artist remained unknown for many
years. In 1955, he was discovered by André Breton,
held his first solo show, and established a relationshipwith the Surrealists. His photomontages provided
glimpses into a unique world with their freely interchanged and reassembled body parts. Molinier diedfrom a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1976.

Warhol’s 1976 “Hammer and Sickles” series appropriates the raw force of the communist emblem
while deconstructing it through juxtaposition withdollar bills, vibrators, and so forth. He produced
Come Painting, around the same time as the Oxidation Paintings series of abstractions made withurine. Both are experimental 1970s works in which
Warhol deviated playfully from his usual approach.

Schneider held his first solo exhibition at a local gallery
when he was 16. From the same year, he started working on Haus u r, a project in which he reconstructed his
own house by building walls in front of existing walls or
constructing rooms within rooms. The work, still in progress (and likely to develop for the artist’s lifetime), is
considered one of his masterpieces. For the Triennale,
he will show a site-specific installation work.

After working in theater in Germany, in 2002 Takayama
formed the theater unit Port B, which presents experimental works that takes place on the streets such as
Tokyo Heterotopia (2013), transcending the frameworkof traditional theater. For the Triennale, Takayama researches Yokohama’s community of people with rootsin Asia, and collaborates with them on the project Yokohama Commune, a tour of the city that examines Japanese identity and language in a new light.

In 1991, Toyoda took a continuing-education photography class at the International Center of Photography,
New York, taught by Nan Goldin. From 1993 onward he
was active in New York, then moved to Japan in 2013.
He has consistently eschewed printing of photographs,
instead showing 35mm slides with a projector he operates himself. His slideshows, which leave no physicaltrace behind, are a long-running visual diary that has
touched numerous viewers over the years.

Tonoshiki was indirectly exposed to radiation from theatomic bombing of Hiroshima at age three. After graduating from high school, he went to work at Japan’s national railway (today JR), but was hospitalized for a long
period in 1962, during which he encountered art
through the hospital’s art club. Afterward he moved to
Nagato in Yamaguchi Prefecture, where he remained.
Later, he shifted from painting and printmaking to indoor
and outdoor installations that dealt with social issues.

Moti studied at Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in
Tilburg and De Ateliers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
As exemplified by No Show, which will be shown at the
Triennale, his work is based around narratives lurking inhistory and the revelation of concealed truths, and takes
on various forms including video, drawing, objects, andartist's books. Moti will show work in the MAM Project at
Mori Art Museum from May 31 to Aug. 31.

After attending Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam,
Ader moved to the United States, graduating from theOtis College of Art and Design with a BFA and from theClaremont Graduate School. Beginning in 1970, hecreated a series of short films of performances entitled
Fall (three of which are included in the Triennale). He
became one of the standard-bearers of conceptual art,
but in 1975 set off from the United States to cross the
Atlantic in a small boat, and was never seen again.

After studying at California Institute of the Arts, Goldsteincreated minimalist sculptures early in his career, thenshifted to making videos that invoke the methodologies
of movies and TV commercials. His work dealt with subcultures and played an important role in the Conceptualism of the 1970s, ranging in medium from performance
to audio. In the 1980s, he went through another transition and began producing paintings of outer space andnatural phenomena.

between her own body, the earth, and the natural world,and straddles a wide range of media including performance, video, photography, and printmaking. Just
when Mendieta was starting to garner international
acclaim, she fell to her death from her apartment. Threeof her early videos are shown in the Triennnale.

As a co-founder of the Arab Image Foundation, Zaatariis engaged in assembling a photo and video archive of
the Middle East, North Africa, and the Arab diaspora,and produces photo and video works with an awareness of the cultural context of the Arab world. For the

Hansen’s birthplace, Tacoma, is a center for glass art
on the West Coast of the United States, and he began
creating art after studying glass-blowing techniques at
New Orleans School of Glass and Print in the UnitedStates. His objects combining handmade glass vessels,
such as flasks and other laboratory glassware, withmaterials such as wood, metal, and vinyl appear both
cerebral and improvisatory. Hansen’s new works areshown in this exhibition.

Vo and his family emigrated to Denmark from Vietnam
in 1979. He studied at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and the Städelschule in Frankfurt. He is known forhis conceptual practice, which often deals with personal
history in relation to broader historical realities. His largest project, We The People, replicates the Statue of
Liberty’s copper exterior at full scale.

Kim’s work looks like monochromatic painting, depicting
and erasing dots and other geometric motifs repeatedly.
It also includes fragments of handwritten text similar to
mumbling under one’s breath, creating an overall effectlike an aggregation of unfinished physical actions. He
combines the spirit of Korean Minjung Art, a socialrealistic art movement in Korea, with a minimalist aesthetic, in a unique and highly refined melding of art andthe everyday.

Late at night on June 1, 1964, Matsuzawa heard avoice in his sleep instructing him to “erase the object,”and on June 4, he began creating conceptual art consisting only of words. He consistently maintained a
grand vision that encompassed the entire universe andhumanity’s primeval nature. This exhibition illustrates
this worldview, primarily through works that the artist
kept in his “Psi Room” in his house in Shimosuwa, Nagano.

before returning to school. He held his first solo exhibition in 1982, and has since created a plethora of works
that freely combine painting, video, music, and a wide
range of other genres. He participated in dOCUMENTA(13) and the Venice Biennale in 2013, and has beenhighly active both in Japan and overseas in recent
years. For the Triennale, Ohtake will exhibit the newwork at Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall.

Hino is the head of Hino Architect’s Office, and does
wide-ranging work in architecture and urban planning,
including designing contemporary art galleries, andplanning and directing exhibitions. He participated in thethird and fourth editions of the Yokohama Triennale,
designing the spatial configuration of the NYK Waterfront Warehouse (BankART Studio NYK), Red Brick
